5 Great Games That Never Were

Each year our video game addiction is sated with a fair share of good games, but sometimes great games never see the light of day. Below is a short list of some of the most promising games that we’ll never have a chance to play, because they don’t exist.

Ultima Worlds Online: Origin

Set to become one of the most stunning MMOs of it’s time this game was eventually cancelled by EA, who then used the Origin name on their digital distribution platform. I would have rather had the game.

Resident Evil “3.5”

One of several “tech demos” created before Resident Evil 4 came to be, this game would have retained the feel of the first two RE games and utilized modern graphics capabilities. I would have prefered this to Las Plagas fast zombies. (Blasphemy, I know)

Starcraft: Ghost

A stealth action game in the vein of Spinter Cell and Thief, starring the most popular unit in the Starcraft Universe, the cloaking sniper unit: Ghost. Had this been released we’d probably be eagerly awaiting it’s upcoming sequel as much as Diablo III.

Mega Man Universe

A 2.5D Mega Man game where users would have been able to create there own content. Cancelled after original Mega Man creator, Keiji Inafune, left the studio. This could have spawned thousands of hours of extremely creative user made content.

Call of Cthulhu Destiny’s End http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwIYo75C2UY
and Call of Cthulhu Beyond the Mountains of Madness
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 or whatever it woulda been called
I guess there’s a lot of stuff in Development Hell and choices depend on tastes. I really wish COC had become a serious gaming franchise.
